Chapter 214: Confronting each other
As soon as Prime Minister Zuo died, those unsightly deeds were completely buried in Huangquan with him, and Yi Chenxuan was calm and unhurried in the face of Yi Chenjing's accusations.
Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing never imagined that the person who killed Prime Minister Zuo would be Su Rao, and when Su Rao, who was hiding in the dust Xuan, was tied into the front hall of the Yaohuang Palace, Bai Qige took a deep breath, almost unable to believe that the person in front of him was the lively and clever side room, the thin body seemed to have only a pair of skin wrapped around the skeleton, two eyes bulging, looking around in panic, a messy long hair that had not been combed for a long time, draped on the skinny back, looking like a madman.
"Su Rao, what's wrong. Why do you want to kill Prime Minister Zuo. Yi Chenjing frowned and grabbed Su Rao's hands, trying to ask for the slightest clue, but Su Rao either looked at him and smirked, or struggled desperately and cried, unable to communicate at all.
"Take the person down and have a good check." Emperor Yao rubbed his forehead and waved his hand impatiently, and glanced at the little eunuch who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, "Are you sure that Prime Minister Zuo was killed by that woman." ”
The little eunuch's scalp was close to the ground, and his tone was firm: "The servant saw someone stumbling out of the Jade Tired Palace, and he looked inside out of curiosity...... When the man fled, he stepped on the blood on the ground, and the servants and several fathers-in-law followed the footprints until they reached the Chenxuan, and then they saw that the person was actually the wife of the Chenxuan, hiding in the corner of the courtyard alone and muttering something about revenge. ”
Slimming down into this appearance in a few months must have suffered a great change, will this change be related to Su Rao's madness and stabbing Prime Minister Zuo to death. Bai Qige lowered his eyebrows and thought hard, he couldn't find out how Su Rao had anything to do with Prime Minister Zuo in his memory, but he had something to do with Concubine Jin.
At the beginning, she was framed by Concubine Jin for having an affair with the crown prince, and the person who appeared in front of Emperor Yao to testify was Su Rao, and Prime Minister Zuo was Concubine Jin's father, and the father and daughter had a close relationship, so it is not surprising that they conspired to do some things and shared some people. Along the way, she evaded the pursuit and rushed back to the palace, and the disciples of Prime Minister Zuo treated her and Yi Chenjing with "courtesy", could it be that Su Rao colluded with their father and daughter...... No, no, Su Rao is extremely disgusted with her, but she has no reason to harm Yi Chenjing, and if Su Rao is really working for Concubine Jin and Prime Minister Zuo, why should she kill the killer at such a critical moment and then go crazy.
The doubts were quickly answered, and when Lao Gong'e announced the discovery with a numb face, Bai Qige's heart chuckled.
"Emperor Qiqi, the old slaves have checked this lady for the dust Xuan, this lady is not clean, she has been happy with a man in ten days, and there are scars and bruises all over her body."
Su Rao is Yi Chenjing's side room in name, but in fact, she has never been a husband and wife, and it stands to reason that she should be a virgin, not to mention that there is no man in Yichen Xuan since Yi Chenjing's northern expedition, so who is the person who has a relationship with Su Rao. Thinking of Su Rao's panic, fear and revenge, everyone thought a little bit in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy and pity when they heard the bitter laughter in the next room.
"I can't imagine that Concubine Niangniang is in charge of the Six Palaces, but Prime Minister Zuo is doing such a dirty thing behind people's backs, no wonder Mrs. Su Rao will ......" Pretending to shake her head with regret, Yi Chenxuan looked at Yi Chenjing, "Seventh brother doesn't have to be too sad, it is a blessing in misfortune that you and Qige can return to the palace safely,"
"As I said, you're not qualified to call her by name." Interrupting Yi Chenxuan coldly, Yi Chenjing showed no mercy.
Why did Su Rao go crazy and why did she kill Prime Minister Zuo, the reason for this has already been known on August 9, and he is sure that this matter must be related to Yi Chenxuan, but the matter has come to this point, the most important thing at the moment is not to consider how Su Rao is, but to find other evidence to prove Yi Chenxuan's despicable crimes, and completely bring him down as soon as possible.
Qiao Qingxuan's death made Yi Chenjing unable to endure it any longer, and he couldn't tolerate Yi Chenxuan continuing to live in the world.
"Leave this matter to the queen to investigate slowly, and you two brothers will solve the contradiction first." Emperor Yao retired from the idle miscellaneous people, leaving only his two sons and Bai Qige and even Suiliang in the palace.
Contradiction. It's just a contradiction. With so many lives, the countless dangers of life and death that he and Bai Qige experienced were a small contradiction for his father. Listening to Emperor Yao's tone as if he was dealing with a trivial dispute, Yi Chenjing couldn't help but be annoyed, his face became more and more gloomy, if it weren't for Bai Qige's desperate attempt to hold him, I was afraid that he would not be able to control the collision with Emperor Yao at this time and say some ugly words.
Yi Chenxuan naturally saw Yi Chenjing's angry face, and put a hypocritical smile on his face and pretended to care: "Seventh brother is too tired. Seeing that your face is not very good, and your temper is more irritable than usual, it is better to go back to Chenxuan to rest first. ”
"Xuan'er, I have heard that you have something to ask when you come over, and if you brother wants to catch up, it will be later." Holding his forehead with a headache, Emperor Yao closed his eyes and said tiredly, and his voice was weak and old, "Jing'er was ambushed and escaped, and she was constantly chased and killed on the way back to the imperial capital, these things can be related to you." ”
Yi Chenxuan's face was as usual, and he answered naturally and fluently, without showing any nervousness and panic: "Erchen is worried that the seventh brother is too late, how can he do such a fratricidal thing." This must be a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives, and it should not be true. After pondering for a moment, Yi Chenxuan said again, "During the Northern Expedition, Erchen went to the camp of the expeditionary army, for the third son of the Bai family to kill the princess of Zhaoguo, by the way, see if there is anything that can help the seventh brother, the Northern Expedition is the wish of the father and emperor for many years, how dare the son-in-law get in the way." I think it was those young people who wanted to provoke the relationship between the sons and the seventh brother, so these rumors came out, and the father was asked to investigate. ”
"What did the Fifth Emperor Brother do in the army camp, do you need me to tell my father? How many ambushes and secret attacks did Qi Ge and I encounter on the way back to the imperial capital, and how many of the people who pursued and killed said that they were instructed by the Five Emperor Brothers and Prime Minister Zuo Cheng, could it be that these people are all open-mouthed, and they all chose the Five Emperor Brothers to frame them. Heh, isn't it a coincidence? Yi Chenjing clenched his fists and tried his best to control his emotions.
At this point, it is a subversion of Yi Chenjing's humble and forbearant image, and for Yi Chenxuan, it is the impact of a graceful and kind image, how will Emperor Yao solve it. Occasionally, Sui Liang held his breath and concentrated, his eyes wandered between the two brothers, and from time to time he glanced at Bai Qige, who was standing side by side with Yi Chenjing, trying to read something from the expressions of the three people. However, except for Yi Chenjing, who was slightly excited, Bai Qige and Yi Chenxuan were both silent, and they couldn't find the slightest flaw at all.
To seek and fight, first learn to meditate.
Bai Qige can have such a feeling, thanks to Yi Chenxuan, it was he who ruined the last bit of her innocence, so that she could learn to look at this chaotic situation with the most rational eyes, and not be confused by sorrow and joy.
"There is no evidence, no matter what we say, as long as we can't produce evidence, the fifth prince will not admit it, right?" Bai Qige didn't expect Yi Chenxuan to take the initiative to admit it in this situation, and the smile on his calm face was slightly raised, and his confident look made Yi Chenxuan's heart feel weak for a while. Reaching out and stuffing something into Yi Chenjing's hand, Bai Qige reminded in a low voice: "Evidence." ”
Yi Chenjing was confused at first, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly presented the things in his hand to Emperor Yao.
Emperor Yao glanced at Yi Chenxuan, intentionally or unintentionally, lowered his head to take the thing, and frowned slightly.
It was a tightly bandaged oil-paper bag, and when it was opened, a bag appeared in front of me, with a faint blood stain on it, and inside was a letter that was neither long nor short. The oil-paper wrap Bai Qige has been close to his body, and the residual warmth on the letter paper is still there, but Emperor Yao's face is getting colder and colder, and his cloudy eyes are full of surprise and anger.
There was a loud bang, the low table on the couch was violently overturned to the ground, the teacup and medicine bowl were shattered, and the thick black residual medicine and clear tea were mixed into a puddle, and it was impossible to tell which drop was once clean and which one had been dirty.
"Colluded with the Horohe tribe, poisoned our soldiers' drinking water, and framed their siblings at the cost of the Dayao city-state...... You—Do you still take me seriously? Suddenly angry shouts resounded through the dormitory, and Emperor Yao jumped off the couch excitedly, raised his palm and waved it towards Yi Chenxuan.
Yi Chenxuan closed his eyes, and for a long time, he still didn't feel the pain in his cheeks.
The palm hanging in the air trembled violently, the body of the wind candle swayed, and the complex expression was anger, disbelief, and maybe sadness could not bear to hide in it, but this expression was not visible to others, but the person who could see it closed his eyes, and there was no intention of avoiding it at all.
"Chen Senjun and the five princes have private correspondence with the letter, and Chen Jing and I were able to escape from Lingyun City thanks to Chen Senjun's sacrifice of his life. As for the five princes...... "Seeing that Emperor Yao was furious, Bai Qige paused slightly, "The royal family is no better than the common people, and it is always inevitable that brothers will fight for the throne, but the five princes do not hesitate to sell the subjects of the land of Dayao just to create the illusion that Chen Jing was ambushed and died tragically by the enemy, so they can't help but take this country too seriously." ”
"The stakes are high, the princess is cautious."
Bai Qige wanted to say something more about Yi Chenxuan's crimes, but before he could speak, he was reprimanded by Sui Liang, and was surprised to see that the first general of Yaoguo, who had always vigorously supported Yi Chenjing, turned blue with an iron face, and was plain and gentle and generous.
Obediently closed his mouth and took a half step back, Bai Qige lowered his head and stopped talking.
Don't say it, anyway, those few words are enough to provoke Emperor Yao's anger, when she and Yi Chenjing complained to Emperor Yao about Yi Chenxuan's crimes, Emperor Yao's partiality towards Yi Chenxuan was very obvious, and when Yi Chenjing was angry about this, she became more and more calm and calm, and her mind was quickly looking for a reason that Emperor Yao had to deal with Yi Chenxuan.
What is the most important thing for Emperor Haruka. Judging from the current situation, it is not Concubine Jing nor these two sons who have their own merits and strengths, but to dominate the world and leave a name in history as an emperor through the ages. It doesn't have much effect to say something about brotherhood, life and death to Emperor Yao, if Emperor Yao wants to protect Yi Chenxuan, they are useless to talk about it, only one thing will touch his scales and make him unbearable.
That is, to destroy the Great Yao Empire that he had spent half his life building.
Yi Chenxuan acted cautiously, everything could not be involved too much without going through outsiders, even the paper that sent messages to Chen An and others was soaked in potions, and it would burn into ashes after a certain time, but there were two things he didn't expect, these two things were just enough to give him a fatal blow.
First, he didn't expect Chen An to give up the lives of the whole family to let her and Yi Chenjing go.
Second, the incriminating evidence written by Chen An was unexpected by everyone.
